Les Belles Combes, a Ski Classics Challengers event scheduled for December 20-21 in Les Moussières, France, has been postponed to February 14-15, 2026.

The 42km long Les Belles Combes takes place annually in the village of Les Moussières, in the middle of the Haut Jura Nature Parc. 

The Local Organizing Committee released a statement about the postponement on their official website:

“The first snowfalls had suggested a promising start to winter, but current conditions do not allow us to ensure a fully satisfactory organization of the 2025/2026 Belles Combes race, initially scheduled for December 20th and 21st, 2025. To guarantee an event worthy of the commitment of the participants, volunteers, and partners, the organizing committee has decided to postpone the event to February 14th and 15th, 2026.

This new date will, we hope, offer more favorable conditions for welcoming the skiers and providing an event true to the spirit of the Belles Combes. We thank all registered participants, volunteers, and partners for their understanding and continued support. Practical information will be updated soon on our official channels.”

Les Belles Combes, a Ski Classics Challengers event, is a 42km long-distance ski race in classic technique.
